It looks like one of two things are happening at NVIDIA (or even both): one, they felt the that their awesome portable gaming device, the Shield, is not selling well enough, and/or they are blowing out inventory because they plan to release a new Tegra K1 version. NVIDIA just dropped the price of the Shield down to only $199. That's not all though... they have packed an incredible amount of value in there with new updates and features.

Here's what's coming soon for the Shield:

Upgraded to Android 4.4.2 KitKat

Revamped UI for the Gamepad Mapper

Ability to stream PC games outside of the house

Bluetooth keyboard and mice compatibility

Charging the device while using USB connected peripherals

PC wake ups and remote logins

On top of these robust improvements, there is word that Valve is working on an Android port of the hit PC game Portal and it will be coming to the Shield later this year.
